TEEM
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Teem Records a was the British
counterpart of Jah Lloyd's Jamaican label. Most of its releases seem to
have been issued only in Jamaica, but it put out at least three singles in
Britain. A couple of singles came out 1974 with numbers in a GL-1000
series and production credited to G. Lewis. These had white labels of a
simple design and the second had a large spindle hole. GL-1003 came out on the
The Thing label, which had much the same appearance; the date of for
that record was 1974. 'Shame And Pride' by the Diamonds was produced by
Jah Lloyd himself (under his other name of Pat Francis) and had a more
exotic-looking label, as can be seen; it was issued in 1976 and had a catalogue
number of PF-4273 - presumably the same as that of the original Jamaican
issue. The Diamonds signed to Virgin Records later that year, and
re-recorded 'Shame And Pride' for their new company. The Discography lists
three other singles with numbers in the PF-0000s as being British releases.
